Three Pillars: Second Chance

Background

Setting

Three Pillars: Second Chance is set in a darker reflection of the modern world. Those who have played in the Storyteller's games before will recognize it, and many of their past characters are present somewhere. Not that they will interact with the players in this game; after all, it is a big world out there.

Events in the "Real World" effect the game world as well. It is an election year in the United State in both locations, but the candidates are probably even worse in the game setting (if that is possible...). Like other World of Darkness settings, it is a world populated by underground supernatural societies. There are a few key differences from the "canonical" World Of Darkness, circa 2000:

• There are no known living Changelings. Yup, life is that bad.
• For those of you following the Vampire meta-plot, forget it. It may or may not have happened, but will have no effect on the game.
• For those with a copy of Mage: Revised, some events of its meta-plot have happened, but the rest you can safely ignore. There is no Avatar-Storm (but the nukes happened); the Masters have not all fled Earth (they were rare in the first place, and it is dangerous for them to stick around without meta-plot kludges. For a good discussion of this, see the Master's Revised discussion on Ex Libris Nocturnis). Thus, all the meta-plot elements based on those two events are not applicable. Finally, one element that is shared: the Ascension War has become the Ascension Cold War. However, in the Storyteller's game universe, this has always been true--there may be a war for Reality, but it is not as thick as some have made it.
• And one last note about meta-plot for Wraith fans: yes, the 6th Great Maelstrom has struck and still rages on the other side. Makes life difficult everywhere. Again, ELN has some useful information.

How does this change things for players? Very little. Only the last may effect one of the players, and that will dealt with soon enough in game.
